[Bug] Flying across the map due to animals or trees
I just killed a wolf and started to skin it when a second one snuck up on me and attacked, I panicked, spun around towards it and jumped at the same time and just went flying into the air (a solid 4 seconds of soaring through the sky) and crashed into the ground breaking my legs and also dying.
I was using the strong shoulders and swift survivor to make myself faster.

Jack MergedWhen I'm swimming in the lake and I start heading toward shore, there comes a point where I assume the swimming turns into walking, and at that exact point I'm launched out of the water, almost like I'm bouncing off a trampoline. Happens every time I leave the water and it's a bit jarring / unnatural. Should be corrected.

BrokepixelsGaming MergedI had jumped down off a ledge to harvest a wolf and I ended up flying and dying up on a mountain peak clear across the map. https://clips.twitch.tv/GloriousFastGrouseBloodTrail-GVM21Ab9rfFMux9-
This should be a link to a video clip via twitch that shows exactly what happened. -

Noebody MergedBrother and I have houses around pond at G14. I'm on the south side (flat rock next to water). I jumped out of the water on to land. My character shot into the air, zipped passed the mountains, started telling me I had x seconds to get into the play field (or whatever), then when it looked like I was getting into space my game switched to "Preparing geometry". It never lets me back in. After about 5 minutes I killed my game in Task Manager. Closed out of Steam.
Launched Icarus > Character > Join prospect. Hangs at Preparing Geometry. Killed my Icarus again. Brother quit game, launched and joined prospect. I launched and tried joining prospect. Hangs at Preparing geometry. Kill Icarus in Task Manager again.
Brother quit game. I wait 5 minutes. I launch Icarus, select char, join and host prospect. Hangs at Preparing geometry.
Brother can still join prospect but no matter what I try I get stuck at Preparing Geometry. -

Nightheaven MergedI was playing with my little sister. She gets angry whenever I kill baby deer. I do it anyways. Good exp, right? So I killed one in the water, I went to skin it, got bit and poisoned by a fish at the same time. When I looted the baby, I either fell through the map, or got launched into space, it happened too fast to tell which way I flew away. The timer appeared (return to the game area) and I timed out. From then on I was stuck in a loading screen forever and could never rejoin. I have paid dearly for being a child murderer, exiled from the prospect, never to return again.
Anyways, I'm verifying the game files to see if that will fix my infinite loading error.
EDIT: Verifying game files DID repair one broken file, but I am still permanently stuck in the "Preparing Geometry" loading screen. The host sees text that I join the game, but all I can do is sit in a loading screen. -

Steven G Hefferan MergedIdentical story I was exiting the water and got launched into space and stuck on preparing geometry screen. Had to exit through task manager after like 10 minutes of preparing geometry, Now when I attempt to rejoin it stays on preparing geometry forever as far as I've seen. Level 21 Character gone forever?

Ankhrono MergedLoaded into the game, killed a bear and proceeded to skin it but immediately upon clicking "Loot All" my character launched like a slingshot into the sky. The "Return to playable area" timer started to count down for about 4 seconds before the "Loading Geometry" screen appeared. Waited 5 minutes before I ALT+F4 out of the game and attempted to load back in. Stuck on the "Loading Geometry" again for 5+ minutes. I can hear noises in the background but still not loading. Friend saved the server and exited. I tried loading back into the game again. I am once again stuck on the preparing geometry screen but I can hear my friend opening/closing the base door as if I'm still there. About 5 minutes later I crashed to desktop, no errors but the spinning icon stopped before the crash. Upon trying to load I heard my character die but still stuck on preparing geometry with the 'you're dead' music. Clicking makes a opening noise. Escape makes the cursor appear but still black screen.

Evan MergedI killed a bear, ran up to it and started looting the arrows out of it's face and was launched into the air. I crashed the server once I got too high into the air, but my character didn't die. Now if my buddy hosts the game, he can play until the moment I attempt to connect, at which point the server immediately crashes with a P2P connection error. If I try to host the game, it crashes before I can get through 'Loading Geometry'.
I'm level 25 (max level) and was literally minutes away from making my first rifle to reap revenge on the bears for all of us... Now I literally can't play the game anymore. :( -

Serendipity MergedNot a suggestion, just a bug report. I shot a medium deer and it died on a small rocky ledge. I walked over and picked it up, which launched me extremely high into the air and, eventually, a whole map square away. Nice aerial view of the region though, and I obviously died on impact where I landed. Worth noting: I still had the deer, so I commend my grip strength.

sica888 MergedSame here. Did not happen during Beta weekend #1 but happened twice this time and cannot get back into the game after the second time. Both times I was skinning and then I either fell through the ground or was flying in the sky (not sure, happened so quickly) and have been stuck in "Preparing Geometry" for 30+ minutes before giving up. I can hear the game just fine and playmates say they can see my corpse on the map nowhere near where I was but am really not in the game and I am stuck on the loading screen. I am not the host of the prospect and did try both just restarting the game multiple times and uninstalling/reinstalling the game and neither helped.

Wuzzy MergedOne of our players having been rag-dolled to the edge of the map, his game crashed. He was then able to reconnect but never got passed the "Loading Geometry". Eventually had to delete the character and roll a new one. (This was before the debug button was added so unsure if that might have helped)
Same player had the issue on a couple of more occasions (always while skinning) rag-dolled out of the playable area, but without the crash. On these occasions he was able to use the re-spawn to continue play.
Two other players on the same game never saw the issue. -

PopsInSpace MergedI became a missile. I was walking with a wall in my hand and stepped on a rock and became a missile flying up very, very high, in the clouds. When I landed I was about 10k away and I was in a spot that I could be picked up.

Tom MergedWhile hunting in map J14 West of the lake there on the cliff overlooking the lake on a clear day no storm coming, I just killed a deer and was skinning it when I hear the sound of wind and the next thing I know I am flying through the air as if I was knocked down and after landing from high above the ground almost halfway across the map. Is this supposed to happen? Of course, I was killed.

Dr. Pleasant MergedAs it turns out, an animal running into a player has the possibility of launching them up and over the mountains and into the still locked desert area. Obviously this causes the "Return to area" message to pop up but seeing as how you're zooming away at probably close to Mach 1, it's a guaranteed death. Assuming each map square is a single Kilometer, I traveled over 4 Kilometers in under 15 seconds and reached high enough into the sky to pass over the mountains and have the ground recede from view momentarily.
TL;DR : Animals can cause the player to be launched away at significant speed and altitude, fast enough to clear the mountains and be deposited well into locked areas. -

Dr. Pleasant MergedEffectively, animals can walk into the player and the collision may send them flying through the air with enough speed and altitude to not only cross the mountains but be deposited in the desert before the "Return to area" message kills you. Assuming every map square is 1 Kilometer, I was thrown over 4 Kilometers away in under 15 seconds. While it was a nice first look at the Desert, I would prefer to remain on the ground where I belong as well as keep all my tools.

Ohriahn MergedI got thrown up into the air in the arctic and then knocked unconscious for leaving the playable area while continuing to travel upwards. My body was deposited on this mountain, rendering all of my gear unretreivable and stranding my party without the supplies I was carrying.

Dustin B MergedWe'll, sort of. Was trying to collect my bone arrows from a dead polar bear's face, and I ended up holding "E.". Now the polar bear is too big to carry, but the game decided I should be catapulted several hundred feet into the air, briefly receive the "return to playable area" countdown, then death drop several hundred yards away. Only happened once, could not reproduce
